Chapter 19: Hear Me Out
Chapter 19: Hear Me Out
Half a month ago, rumors of hauntings had already hit the Jiang City Morning News.
The street surveillance this time was even creepier than the footage Xu Qing and the others had seen before. A dark shadow flitted by like a ghost, sometimes curling into a ball or floating up to the top of a wall, drawing significant attention.
People had been going out less at night, while the police started patrolling the area more frequently.
To play it safe, Xu Qing hadn’t let Jiang He go outside for over two weeks, telling her to stay in the apartment. Only now that the situation had calmed somewhat was he relaxing his guard.
“What a damn mess…”
Xu Qing shook his head and sighed, scrolling through local news on his phone while eating.
Some people said it was an animal that escaped from the zoo, while others insisted it was a real ghost, claiming they’d seen a female ghost with a bloody face and bulging eyes.
Fortunately, modern society isn't very superstitious. Most young people dismissed it as a prank by someone with too much time on their hands, calling it a hoax designed to get attention. They even took screenshots and annotated them for analysis.
